I hate that title. Nothing violates laws of physics. It just means we need new laws.

  This comment just seems pedantic, like when people complain that a 'free [thing]' is never actually free because taxes or some other product paid for it. Everyone knows that free in that context actually means 'no charge for the user at the time of transaction' but some people feign being obtuse so that they can nitpick. Obviously it means that it violates the laws as we currently understand them. I know it means that, you know it means that, so what's the actual problem?

    Then the headline should read something like "Breakthrough points to new physics". This is just a clickbait title. When you read the article it becomes clear that there's a lot of wishful thinking involved. Others have pointed out that this is not likely to work.

      This is not clickbait. This is just a catchy title. Clickbait is when you write a title, to infer something, and that something is not part of the content.

  a "law of physics" is a human construction. There's no guarantee the physical universe matches these equations exactly or that there are even exact laws the universe follows. So a violation of a physics law is just physical evidence that disagrees with these constructions.

    Exactly.
